Weekly cosplay online gaming cosplay competition to lead up to India’s largest gaming cosplay competition

IGX is set to expand its focus on gaming cosplay at its third edition in Mumbai this November.

IGX Game Face, India’s largest cosplay initiative focused purely on gaming cosplay, will kick off well before the expo, with plenty of activity online and across social media in the lead-up to the show.

Here’s what cosplay artists can look forward to from IGX Game Face this year:

Weekly cosplay features and monthly polls

Every Monday, IGX’s social media platforms will feature the work of one Indian gaming cosplay artist. At the end of each month, we will run a poll on Facebook asking the IGX community to vote for their favourite featured cosplay, who will win games, gift vouchers, and other exciting prizes.

Online cosplay competition

Cosplay artists from across India – even those who won’t be able to make it to IGX – can participate in the IGX Game Face online cosplay competition, which will take place in the lead-up to IGX. The winners, who be picked by a special jury, will win exciting prizes, and all finalists will also be part of a public vote to select the Popular Choice winner.

At the big show on November 18 and 19, IGX will play host to the top gaming cosplays in the country. Two competitions will be conducted – one on each day – with exciting prizes to be won on each day.

Registrations for IGX Game Face will kick off in September on gamesexpo.in.

“Japanese culture has played an integral role in shaping the global video game landscape, and we are thrilled to be partnering with the Cool Japan Festival, which has over the past five years provided us with a great insight into Japanese popular culture. We look forward to giving IGX visitors a taste of what Cool Japan Festival 2017 holds in store, and to bringing some IGX gaming love to this year’s Cool Japan Festival,” said Sameer Desai, founder of IGX.

At Cool Japan Festival in Mumbai, IGX will promote the best of Japanese gaming, with hands-on demos and on-the-spot competitions.

Through this collaboration, Cool Japan Festival will also invite wider participation from Japanese gaming, technology and pop-culture companies at IGX.

“We are pleased to be working with IGX.
